Hey all!

Your last few days of school are probably rolling right up and you must be so excited!! Hope you're all having fun finishing up these last days of high school! It's so hard to believe that I was in your shoes just 2 years ago, and now I'll be going into my middler (third) year! Scary!

Well, between my last entry and today, I've been doing many different things while in Boston for the summer. One cool thing about Northeastern is that they put together a series of events for Summester. Basically, there are just a bunch of events and trips that students can pay for at a discount. For instance, last Friday, I paid $5 to go on a trip to NYC. My friend Anne-Marie and I just wandered around the area a lot:

Times Square -- Hershey Store (w/ M&M's Store right across!)

Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum (where we saw a few short Broadway performaces) -- A view from across the street. It was Fleet Week, so it meant that all the marines and navy people were around and we were able to check out the ships and submarines.

Museum of Modern Art -- Campbell's Soups

Another example would be that today, I went to Six Flags, and it was only for $10!

Above is Anne-Marie and me with a few of the Looney Tunes characters!

Then, within the next few weeks, I'll also be seeing the Blue Man Group perform, as well as go on my very first Boston Duck Tour! I'm definitely excited for these since I've always meant to do these things since I've started going to school in Boston. :D

Anyway, yesterday, I had my midterm for my Calc 2 class, which is just insane to believe that it was our 4th week of the semester! Only about 3 weeks left! Currently, I think I'm doing really well in the class, which is good. However, my professor just assigned us a project to do that must involve applications of calculus, which I'm a little iffy about. It's kind of a short project, but he said it has to be good. Talk about no pressure, huh? The good thing, though, is that it's not due until the end of the semester, so I *do* have some time to work on it. This is either 10 or 15% of my semester grade, so I'm really hoping to do well on this, as well as for the other parts of my grade too of course. :)

Recently, I've found out that my first day of work for my co-op job will be Wednesday, July 1st. My last day of work for The Conference Exchange is Friday, June 26th, so I'll only have 4 days off in between! I definitely don't mind though as I like to keep myself occupied. I'm most certainly looking forward to going on co-op, especially since it'll just be six months of working and *no* classes plus the fact that I do *NOT* have to pay for tuition. Phew! That is definitely a great advantage. I'm just really excited to be learning new things at a different place and different people. Now that I've already caught a long glimpse of one possibility of what I could do with my major, I think it's time to move onto something else. In a way, it's kind of like I actually get the chance to go on 4 co-ops, which is a cool thought. Hey, the more experience, the better, right?

As the day comes around for starting my new job, this also means the same for many of my friends. This time, a good number of them are actually doing something out of state -- the West coast, mostly. A few are going to Intuit in San Diego, CA and a few are going to Amazon in Seattle, WA. At the same time, for the most part, some of these people are ones that I have just gotten to know recently, so it'll be kind of sad to see them go. :( On the brighter side, there will still be some friends who are co-oping in the Boston area. In addition to that, those who went away for co-op this past Spring will be returning to Boston for classes, so in a way, I suppose this is a fair trade-off.

Anyhow, that's all I've got for now. I haven't gotten any questions in a while, so definitely hit me up with some! If not, I hope you have a blast finishing off the year! :)
